Written by experts in stem cell research, this report describes advances made and outlines the expectations for future developments. It discusses current stem cell biology, not limited to NIH-funded research. Authors explain research using stem cells from embryos, fetal tissue, and adult tissues. The first five chapters of the report were originally written in 2006, and NIH is adding new chapters as new areas of scientific research emerge.

The entire report may be downloaded free of charge from this page, either as a single PDF file (4 MB) or by chapter (click on a "PDF" link below to download a PDF of that section). You will need a software viewer such as Adobe Reader to view the files.
